Contractor Sentiment Generally Positive as the Worst of Price Pressures Ease

/in , /by

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe cost to fit out an office in key locations across Asia Pacific has continued to rise, although at a slowing rate, according to findings from Cushman & Wakefield’s Asia Pacific Fit Out Cost Guide 2025. The global real estate service provider’s annual report showed that fit out costs range from US$195 per square foot (psf) in Tokyo as the most expensive market, to US$58 psf in Jakarta as the least expensive. In Greater China markets, Hong Kong was at US$160, Beijing at US$100, and Shanghai at US$96.

Similar to previous years and in line with expectations, Japanese cities were the most expensive markets, while Southeast Asian cities were the most affordable locations for office fit-outs. While there was some fluctuation at a market level and within local currencies, the ranking of most to least expensive fit-out costs in US$ per square foot remained largely unchanged, though gaps have narrowed between some markets. Hong Kong was a notable market mover, moving up from ninth to fifth in the Asia Pacific listing, overtaking Auckland, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne, due to the strong US$ and, consequently, the HK$.

Report author Dr Dominic Brown said changes to local fit out costs were largely aligned with the economic outlook of each market and the related office leasing activity.

“As a region, Asia Pacific is one of the more expansionary, and we have seen more growth and slightly more positive sentiment about the market by contractors here than in other regions.

Image1

“Measured by both contractor sentiment and actual cost, it appears that the worst of the pricing pressure from recent years has resolved and prices for raw materials are on the way down while tight labour markets continue to drive some wage inflation.”

In local currency, North Asian cities including Tokyo, Seoul and Osaka saw the greatest fit-out cost inflation of around 16 percent, followed by Australian cities, which averaged 11 percent. India recorded steady inflation of around 3 percent in most cities. In contrast, slower economic conditions in the Chinese mainland served to dampen contractor pricing change.

In the Chinese mainland, against the dual backdrop of a slowdown in domestic economic growth and escalating international trade conflicts, tenants have adopted a more cautious approach in their office leasing decisions. Meanwhile, the construction market continues to undergo structural adjustments, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has remained at a low level for a long period. Office fit out costs in Chinese mainland Tier 1 cities have seen a degree of decline compared to the previous year, as reflected in the 2025 report.”

Heatherwick Studio Wins Competition to Redesign Seoul’s Coex Convention Centre

/in , /by

Reading Time: 2 minutesHeatherwick studio has been selected as the winner of the competition to reimagine the purpose and facade of the Coex Convention Centre in Seoul. The project is an opportunity to redefine the face of one of the most prominent conference and exhibition destinations in South Korea. In collaboration with the Korea International Trade Association (KITA), the design will transform the current generic glass structure into a gathering place, reflecting the ever-changing spirit of Seoul.

Currently, Coex spans 350 metres, with a largely unremarkable facade that fails to communicate the building’s role as a hub for trade, culture, and innovation for the country. The studio’s winning design introduces a bold concept inspired by the idea of a “Cabinet of Curiosities,” turning the conference centre into a destination to explore and a reason to come to the area even when not attending a formal event.

The design features modular ‘boxes’ of varying sizes stacked along the exterior, serving as ever-changing spaces for exhibitions, public engagement, and conference functions. The goal is to maximise material reuse to create a new facade that is open, engaging and unmissable – breaking away from the fortress-like appearance of the current structure.

Stuart Wood, Executive Partner and Group Leader at Heatherwick studio, said: “Ironically for places that bring people together, most convention centres feel imposing and uninviting and are often devoid of public activity. Our design will radically reinvent Coex to become a new cultural destination for the city of Seoul that attracts both locals and visitors alike. Varied and unusual, our ‘display case’ design offers endless potential to curate art, performance, dining, entertainment, and nature and is a true representation of Seoul’s creative power. We want Coex to become an irresistible place that is open, dynamic and always culturally relevant.”

Image1

Beyond its aesthetic transformation, the project aims to integrate the building more seamlessly into the surrounding area. The ground floor will be reimagined as a public space, designed to offer a mix of activities that invite both visitors and locals to stay and explore. This new public realm will connect with the adjacent park giving the community of Gangnam a gathering space, whether attending an event or not.

At the upper levels, new indoor and outdoor spaces will support official events while also offering public access to a sky garden and viewing deck, providing expansive views of Seoul and the Han River. The experience is designed to remain relevant and exciting even when no major events are taking place at the venue. The studio’s proposal incorporates a strong commitment to sustainability, ensuring that Coex not only meets but also exceeds future environmental standards. The project prioritises:

  • Maximising material reuse
  • Enhancing energy efficiency
  • Improving indoor and outdoor environmental comfort
  • Fostering overall well-being for visitors and occupants

Slated to be completed in 2029, the project joins the studio’s growing portfolio in South Korea, which includes the reimagination of Nodeul Island on the Han River and a new vision for Hanwha Galleria in the district of Gangnam.

Pan-United Completes Mass Concrete Pour for Casting Raft Foundation of Singapore’s Tallest Building

/in /by

Reading Time: 2 minutesPan-United Concrete successfully concluded a mass pour of 10,250 cubic metres of concrete for casting the 5-metre raft foundation of The Skywaters at 8 Shenton Way in January 2025. The 63-storey mixed-use development towers 305 metres high and sits on a site spanning 10,984 square metres or 118,229 square feet. Upon completion in 2028, The Skywaters will be Singapore’s tallest building.

Collaborating closely with the project’s main contractor, China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd (Singapore branch), the mass pour was executed non-stop for 35 hours, with one truckload of concrete delivered to the site every two minutes. The smooth delivery was made possible by our technology arm, AiR Digital. Leveraging its AI-enabled optimisation solution, the AiR Digital system effectively managed the complex logistics of the mass pour. For instance, its fleet optimisation and auto-replenishment of raw materials ensured that trucks shuttled between the plant and project site with zero disruptions. In addition, the mixer trucks could queue seamlessly to deliver concrete without delays.

Image1

The Skywaters is Singapore’s first project to use the highly durable Grade 105 PanU SuperHigh-Strength® Concrete, which reduces the amount of concrete and reinforcements required for the raft foundation. To reduce the embodied emissions of the project, The Skywaters is also being built with PanU CMC+, which permanently traps industrial waste carbon dioxide in the concrete, effectively making the building a carbon sink. Additionally, PanU CoolTM concrete was utilised for its industry-leading temperature control and very high flowability.

Mr Lim Han Kwong, Chief Operating Officer of China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd (Singapore Branch), said, “The mass pour would not have been possible without the strong leadership from China Harbour Engineering Company and the seamless collaboration among all stakeholders, including the unwavering support from the entire Pan-United team. This project showcased Pan-United’s exceptional coordination skills and their commitment to delivering on their promises.”

Mr Ken Loh, Chief Executive Officer of Pan-United, said: “We take great pride in our involvement in this landmark project and are grateful for the confidence and trust that China Harbour Engineering Company has in Pan-United. The successful completion of the casting was very much a combined effort between China Harbour Engineering Company and Pan-United. Our teams collaborated closely to carefully plan and execute the pour round-the-clock. We are glad that Pan-United’s years of concrete innovation and use of advanced technology have proven useful in meeting the challenge of setting new records in landmark projects.”

The Skywaters, positioned at the intersection of the Central Business District, Marina Bay and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, is being developed by a consortium led by Perennial Holdings. The development features luxury residential units, retail space, offices and a hotel. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, whose portfolio includes the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, One World Trade Center in New York and Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai.
